On 5-6 July 2018, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Edgars Rinkēvičs, will be on an official visit in Romania. During the visit, the Latvian Foreign Minister will meet with the President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, Prime Minister Viorica Dăncilă, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Teodor-Viorel Meleşcanu.

The officials intend to discuss bilateral and regional cooperation between Latvia and Romania, topics of high relevance for the European Union, and security policy issues.
